Attorney Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel says that World Vision, Christian humanitarian organization, a was set up.
The organization hired Aubry McMahon to be a customer service representative after she agreed to the ministry's statement of faith, specifically stating that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. 
“Then the individual said that she's in a 'same-sex marriage' and that she is pregnant. That's when World Vision said, 'well, this violates our doctrinal belief,' and rescinded the offer,” said Staver.
With the support of the American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and several blue state attorneys general, McMahon sued World Vision. She claimed the ministry had violated a Washington state's nondiscrimination law and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
A lower court agreed, but the Christian Post reports that the Ninth Circuit overturned that decision on appeal.
“This is a great decision because the court recognizes World Vision and other similar Christian ministries have the right to be able to choose their employees that are consistent with their religious doctrine and beliefs,” Staver says.
Staver doesn't represent World Vision in this case, but he is representing Liberty University in a different case. An employee was let go from the university after it was discovered that he was hiding his transition into a female. Liberty said he was in violation of the school’s religious conviction and doctrinal statement, and the ex-employee cited Civil Rights Act violations.
Staver says eventually one or more of these cases should make it to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“I think it will certainly be a situation going to the U.S. Supreme Court. I think Liberty University case has an option to be able to go to the U.S. Supreme Court. We're in the 4th Circuit on the East Coast in Richmond, Virginia, and then this one (World Vision) was on the West Coast in the 9th Circuit,” says Staver.
